I'll walk you through my full YouTube studio setup: the camera I film on, my go-to microphone, my lighting, the computer I'm currently using, and the accessories that tie it all together. For each one I'll explain what it does and why it's there, so you can work out what's worth it for your own setup and what you can skip. Some of my gear is overkill for most people, and I'll tell you exactly what you don't need, so this works whether you're starting on a budget or ready to upgrade. I record straight into Descript, which is also what our team uses to edit, and I'll show you how that fits into my workflow. I'll cover the teleprompter I use to keep my delivery natural too. If you want to go deeper, our Teleprompter Masterclass, advanced Descript training, and a lot more on video creation and AI live inside Primal Video PLUS, and you can grab my free Primal Video Method to plan and create your videos from start to finish. By the end you'll know exactly how I make my videos and how to build a setup that works for you.
